I often plan long motorcycle trips across the country on specific roads and routes. In the old days when working properly, if I was using the routing tool, I could switch tools such as the Hand for moving the map or the Magnifying Glass to zoom and then switch back to the routing tool with no issue.
The routing tool always kept the long attached vector rubber band as you plotted the route. In the past you could hit the escape button to end the route. Now, if I select any other tool while creating a route, the route ends at the last selected point.
Yes I can use the direction arrows at the bottom to move the map or the +/- to zoom in or out, but the old way was far easier especially planning back roads and lunch stops. I know I can also use the beginning and ending route method such as NY to LA with shortest distance, however I'm trying to build custom routes over weeks of travel.
Keeping the routing tool "On" while switching tools is by far the easiest way.
I have contacted support at Garmin several times and was told their version works perfectly fine and have never heard of this issue of loosing route when switching across tools.
Appreciate anyone who can advise the problem or solution.
